Hey, King Spike rules here and here is the next chapter in this story. This chapter is the beginning of gaining the first of the three Lieutenant.

Chapter 8: Collecting the Lieutenants part 1.

After getting their orders, Spike and Rainbow Dash hopped in their car, and then took to the out skirts of town, But what they didn't know was a diamond dog scout was secretly watching the borders of their territory notice them head to the southern side of their area. He smiled slyly as he took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Yes?" called the voce of Iron Will from the other side of the line.

"Hey, boss. Guess who just showed up in our territory?" he asked with a smile.

"Those two pain in my ass?" Iron asked as he sounded happy to his tone.

"Yep, and he's heading for The Sweet Apple Acres." The scout said with a smile.

"Great, I'm sending an army to help take care of them all." Iron said in a very happy tone as he hung up and the scout smiled wickedly as he went back under ground.

Spike and Dash flow on the road as they past a few small farms here and there, and the two were not sure what they were really looking for, or would be expecting until they found themselves driving down a small road with miles and miles of apple trees as far as they can see.

"Whoa, I can't believe how large this place is." Dash said as she looked up and saw hundreds of thousands of apples.

"I can't believe we haven't notice this place before." Spike said with a smile as they continued down the dirt road for a few more minutes until they saw a farm house and barn.

"Hmm, I round if that's the place?" Dash asked as she turned the car down off the road and headed up the drive way. Once they were near the house, they stopped the car and then they got out to start to search for the mare they came for. Spike headed around the house as Dash checked out barn. As they searched, Dash could hear noises and felt movement behind her. She pushed the barn doors open, and then she saw a flash of something and she was sent flying a few feet until she landed with a thud.

"What are y'all doing here?" dash heard a southern voice call out to her and as she sat up, she saw an orange mare with a blonde mane tied back in a ponytail, green eyes, and three red apples as her cutie mark.

"I'm looking for this mare named Applejack." Dash said with a smile as she rubbed her chin for a bit as she smiled wickedly.

"Oh, are you some hitpony hired by Iron Will?" the mare asked as she got ready to fight.

"No, but I'm ready for a fight." Dash said still smiling as she stood up and cracked her neck and then took fly. She flew up into the air, and then flew down at full speed. The orange mare watched and wait, and just as she was a few feet in the air, The mare used her hind legs and leaped into the air meeting Dash in mid air. Dash had no time to react as she was clocked and sent crashing into the ground. Dash got up slowly as she turned to see the orange mare land on all four of her hooves like a cat.

"If that's all you got. Then I'll be done with you very quickly." the mare said with a smile on her face as Dash got up on all fours, and then charged in for a second attack.

Meanwhile, Spike was calmly looking around the farm house for any sign of the residents. As he searched around the some barrels, he did not see a figure calmly walk across the roof of the house. Spike continued to look around the house as the figure stopped just out of sight of the dragon. It then took out a semi-automatic rifle out and took aim at Spike. Who continued on for a few seconds until he came something at his feet.

"Huh, what's this?" Spike asked as he reached down and picked up a freshly eaten apple core. As he looked it over, he suddenly heard a loud click that he knew all to well. "Ah, shit." Spike said as he took down the house outer wall as the figure let out an onslaught of bullets as he followed the dragon onward. Spike thought quickly as he stepped onto a upright crate and dove into one of the houses windows. The figure quickly ceased fire as he looked down, and as he did, Spike let out some return fire upwards through the roof. The figure quickly dodged the bullets, but miss step and slipped of the roof. As he tried to regain his footing, he was suddenly met with a glock to the face as Spike finally saw that his assailant was a stallion with a red coat, messy orange hair, and a green apple with a wedge missing as a cutie mark.

"Crap." was what the stallion had to say as he looked up at the dragon.

Back at the barn, Dash was all bruised up as she breathed heavily and looked at the smirking mare.

"I must say, you any much a fighter for a Blitzer." the mare said as she took her stains.

"I keep telling you, I'm not a Blitzer." Dash said as she charged again, but the mare grabbed her wing and throw her off onto the ground with another thud.

"I'll say. I was on of the Buster's best fighter and I killed quite a few Blitzer's when I was with them." the mare said as she walked up to the down Pegasus and stomped her hoof at the base of her wing, which made Dash wince in pain and try to hit her, but she was just pinned as the other mare's hoof forced her down to the ground. As she was held their with her wing and hoof pinned, Dash looked up at the mare and yelled.

"Let me go you bitch." Dash yelled as she tried to get free, but she noticed that the mare was leaning down to her face as she whispered.

"Shhh, just relax and except it." the mare said as she came with inches of Dash's lips, but a sudden billet flow through the air and knocked her hat from her head. The now shocked mare quickly looked up and saw a young dragon with a large stallion in front of him.

"Big Macintosh." the mare yelled as she watched Spike place the gun down to the back of his head.

"Let her go and I'll spare him." Spike said as he up pulled the hammer form his gun and glared at her, who glared back at him until she stepped off of Dash and took a few steps back to allow Dash to get to her hooves and walked to Spike. As he watched Dash walked towards him, Spike stepped back and allowed the Big mac up, who then headed to the mare.

"Alright, now you can leave." the mare said as she checked on the stallion for any injury.

"Not until we talk to Applejack about joining us." Spike said as he got in between them and the beaten Dash.

"I'm going to join any gang after what happened with the Busters." the mare yelled, revealing that she was Applejack.

"Well, we just want to explain..." Spike trailed off as he suddenly heard the loud roar of truck engines coming towards them. "Dash!" Spike yelled as the weakened Dash flew up into the air and saw several Buster trucks heading towards them.

"We have a problem." Dash said as she flow back down and landed next to him. "At least five trucks heading way." she said as she rubbed her shoulder.

"Damn, the two of us can fight that many off, but..." Spike trailed off as he turned to the two earth ponies, who turned to look at him.

"What?" Applejack asked as stared at Spike, but was shocked when he tossed her his glock. She looked at ita dnthen at him confused as to what he wanted.

"Want to help us kill these assholes?" Spike asked as he smiled at them. Both Applejack and Big Mac looked at each other for a few seconds, until they turned to Spike and nodded with wicked smile on their faces.

TBC.

With their differences put aside for now, can the alliance of the Apple Family and the Harmony Saints stand against the power of the Busters?

Well, that was it. I hope you enjoyed it and leave a review. Also, look for my new One Piece oc fic coming soon.
